I eye-f*ck the sh!t out of this building every time I sip margaritas across the street at Patron’s. The top floor on the west half of the building appears to have 2 awesome outdoor spaces that I would kill to live in. Sadly, I will probably never have the means.

Yeah this place is baller as hell the only negative it has is the Patrons right across the street and Spy Bar to the west make a ton of noise on the weekends, I’m sure the bedrooms are way in the back though so its not a big deal.

Assumption School was built in 1899 by Assumption Church and was an important educational institution in Chicago’s earliest Italian immigrant community on the Near North Side. The school was founded by Mother Francis Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917), a nationally significant figure in the history of education, health care and social welfare and the first American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. The school is the most intact building associated with her numerous charitable undertakings in the city. Designed in the Beaux Arts style by architect Frederick Foltz (1843-1916), the school is a distinctive example of a late-nineteenth century urban school building. The Assumption School Building is distinguished by its fine brick- and stonework, exuberant classically-inspired ornament and ornate copper cornice.

Anyone know about El noise here? That is a lot to spend on a 2BR if you can hear the El. Also – is parking indoor or outdoor? I think the penthouse at 510 W Erie is a much better deal but you won’t have the vintage exterior.

Sonies – That was me who called the place on Superior no-man’s land. This is a little better – farther from Chicago Ave but I don’t like the proximity to the El tracks or being very close to the bars. And when I say no-man’s land I mean relative to other (ie better IMO) parts of RN. I don’t think this is worth anywhere near $600 / sqr foot. I would say $400 area = $920k.

The square from Grand to Chicago, Orleans to LaSalle is the “no-mans land” River North and this sits within in it, for sure. If you’re south of Ohio/Ontario, then you have escaped no-man’s land (i.e. where Assumption Church, Gene & Georgetti, EnV, etc.) because at that point you pick up the Merch Mart and river vibe which is cool.

It’s priced at $600 psf and it’s in no-mans land. Therefore, one could possibly buy another condo with 2,300 sf in a better location, and trick it out exactly like this place, and be under $500 psf, and maybe get a view too? This place has the building facade, landmark history, and the open-floor plan going for it. Question is, could you buy and then hire a similar interior design firm and be substantially under this price psf?

I think you have to be crazy to live on the 7th or 4th floor of a building on a busy street. You really want to suck down car fumes 24/7 and hear the ambulances drive through your living rooms every 4 hours? crazy.

Those assessments are nice and low — not sure what that means for the reserves, but that’s a great consequence of not having a doorman. Plus the whole doorman vibe generally seems pretty douchey, though it’s nice that your UPS/FedEx packages actually arrive safely.
